HiPerfCooker

What does this warning mean: Event Viewer: Application: Warning: WinMgmt:
Event 63: A provider, HiPerfCooker_v1, has been registered in the WMI
namespace, Root\WMI, to use the local system account. This account is
privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not
correctly impersonate user requests.

I'm guessing that you saw this event shortly after you installed SP3. I
have an open ticket on this topic with Microsoft, but as near as I can
tell, it doesn't indicate that anything "bad" is going on.

HiPerfCooker appears to be related to the "Formatted Performance Data
Provider" aka the "Cooked Counter Provider" (see

It would be nice if Microsoft would tell us ahead of time that a
warning would show up in our "event" listing so that we wouldn't
waste time wondering and worrying about it. Damned idiots.
